American Scientific Participation in the United Nations Conference of Parties-23

美国科学家参加具有里程碑意义的国际会议对于提高美国国内竞争性工作的质量至关重要。联合国缔约方会议（COP -23）是10,000多名科学家和政策制定者的聚会，他们将聚集在一起讨论环境转型，适应，移民，复原力以及减灾和应对的制度化模式方面的前沿工作。美国人类学协会（AAA）是唯一被授予协商观察员资格的社会科学学术团体，COP-23为代表团报告AAA工作组的工作提供了一个重要机会。该项目将加强美国人类学科学家与其他国际学者之间的合作。美国人类学协会将为参加2017年11月6日至17日在德国波恩举行的第23届联合国缔约方大会的一个工作组代表团提供旅费。该工作组是由一个全国公认的学者小组在18个月的时间内完成的，这些学者来自人类学的所有四个分支领域。AAA代表团将报告工作组的工作，确定加强合作的机会，并确定额外工作的优先事项，以填补环境变化方面的空白和欠发达的知识领域。

The participation of American scientists in landmark international conferences is vital for improving the quality of competitive work within the U.S. This UN Conference of Parties (COP)-23 is a gathering of more than 10,000 scientists and policymakers, who will convene to discuss cutting edge work in environmental transformations, institutionalized patterns of adaptation, migration, resilience, and disaster mitigation and response. The American Anthropological Association (AAA) is the only social sciences scholarly society to be awarded Consultative Observer credentials, and COP-23 presents a significant opportunity for the delegation to report on the work of an AAA Task Force. The project will strengthen collaborations between American anthropological scientists and others internationally. The American Anthropological Association is fund travel for a delegation from a task force for participation in the United Nations Conference of Parties-23 in Bonn, Germany from November 6-17, 2017. The Task Force was completed over an 18-month period by a nationally recognized group of scholars drawn from all 4 subfields of anthropology. The AAA delegation will report on the work of our Task Force, identifying opportunities to strengthen collaboration, and establishing priorities for additional work to fill in gaps and thinly developed areas of knowledge on environmental change.
